Dropkick Murphys to return to the New York State Fair this summer

Expect to see some familiar faces at this summer’s Great New York State Fair now that Dropkick Murphys has been added to the lineup for the second year in a row.

The Celtic-influenced rock band will return to the Chevy Court on August 25 at 8:00 p.m.

Dropkick Murphys joined the 2018 fair lineup after a last-minute schedule change, which drew over 13,000 fairgoers.

“We’re thrilled to bring back Dropkick Murphys and to give them a little more time to get ready for a big Chevy Court crow,” said Fair Director Troy Waffner. “Last year, they said it was their first ever show at a state fair. This year, it’s another first—their first repeat performance at a state fair! This is a huge highlight of our concert season and a show absolutely not to be missed.”
